I tried as many trivia podcasts as I could find and NONE of them were as perfect as this one. The questions are hard enough that you feel challenged and when you get what would be a passing grade you really feel like you accomplished something. The different question formats are complicated enough to keep it interesting yet simple enough to understand quickly. The commentary isn’t too much and isn’t too little. It’s just right in a perfect sweet spot where it makes each episode satisfying. The way that Sam involves the listeners and his family members and friends makes it feel like we’re all just friends having game night. It really is the best trivia podcast out there and I am so shocked that it hasn’t become bigger by now but on the other hand, I’m excited to be able to participate before that happens! This nerd is gonna keep podding on! Btw when this gets big enough to need collaborators I volunteer!!!!!

A pleasant surprise that has become a go to for car rides. Concise, fun, a mix of difficulty and pop culture.

Hey what’s up nerds! We have been listening to Pub Trivia Group for years and we hope it will continue for many years to come! Although we don’t tend to be great at trivia, we love the mix of topics and the round themes/puzzles usually help us piece together the answers. We especially love the common initials, short answer chain, and acrostics games for this reason! Highly recommend listening to all of the episodes! -Rebekah and Matt

This podcast isn’t just background noise for the commute—it’s a brain-tickling companion that makes rush hour almost enjoyable. With a level of difficulty that dares you to keep up, it’s the kind of show that makes you feel smarter just for listening. Hats off to the team for turning my morning drive into a mental obstacle course I actually look forward to.
